Today’s Wordle Bot Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.
STALE was a lousy opener but CRONY managed to slash 315 words down to just one: RUNNY for the win! And I do like my eggs over easy, nice and runny, over some perfectly golden hash browns. Or chilaquiles. Yummy.
Competitive Wordle Score
Tied the Bot with four apiece and that’s zero points to each of us. August remains stagnant:
Erik: 26 points
Wordle Bot: 12 points
